DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2022.2081872
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Skeletal muscle index (SMI) is a promising predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with malignant diseases. As a simpler surrogate of sarcopenia-psoas muscle index (PMI), its predict value for overall survival (OS) after… read more here.
